Great! Keep it up!

[@KirstyRebeccaFineArt]

Thanks, will do!

[@annemarie1895]

Absolutely beautiful Kirsty! Can't wait until this one is on patreon (I already checked lol)

[@KirstyRebeccaFineArt]

Thank you 😊 This was actually a drawing I did over a year ago (before I started Patreon) so I haven't got a Patreon tutorial for it, unfortunately! But I am actually going back through some of my older KZbin footage to see if I can do a voiceover and make them a real-rime Patreon tutorial as well (there are a few KZbin tutorials that people have asked about!) so this one is on my list to do in the future 😊

[@annemarie1895]

@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt ahh yes that makes sense! I love your bird tutorials as I just keep struggling with feathers for some reason! Keep it up 🥰

[@KirstyRebeccaFineArt]

I love drawing birds so there will be plenty more in the future months 😊 Feathers can be tricky!

[@cazlynbennett303]

Lovely, Kirsty! Could you do a studio tour & most used materials? Ily, all the way from South Africa ❤️❤️

[@KirstyRebeccaFineArt]

I plan on doing some of those videos in the future! I'm currently in a temporary space so my studio isn't well set-up, but I am moving early next year and will do a full tour then 😊

[@cazlynbennett303]

Beautiful pastel piece, Kirsty. Birds are my favorite subject to draw/paint next to flowers. What is your favorite subject?

[@KirstyRebeccaFineArt]

Thank you 😊 Mine is probably birds, then big cats 😊

[@FineArtforChrist]

@@KirstyRebeccaFineArt That's really cool! Keep up your amazing drawings.

[@AnimalArtbyTerraCotta]

Astonishingly beautiful! I love the virbrant greens and teals bringing the toucan with its yellow breast forward! Truly a magnificent piece of art! ❤️

[@KirstyRebeccaFineArt]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@akshatjain2087]

[@KirstyRebeccaFineArt]

haha well I have to hit 8k first!

[@shivaniaquarian]

Wow...another masterpiece Kirsty....In addition to what you draw I also love how you record your videos and show your paintings getting completed gradually rather than time lapse or fast edits...and your techniques are very good and easy to understand...though I have a small question...I am also a pastel artist but can we call our pastel works as paintings or rendering/drawing?

[@KirstyRebeccaFineArt]

Thank you so much 😀 You can call it either, there's no right or wrong!

[@grosszular]

Hi Kirsty! Are there any mediums that can be mixed with pastel? For example I found a set of metallic pastel pencils that I would use for small details but can I use for example metallic aquarelle on top? I found those ones much brighter than the metallic pastel pencils. For a scale of a fish for example. Would it stay or come off easily? Thank you!

[@KirstyRebeccaFineArt]

Honestly, I'm not too sure about adding mediums on top of pastel (you would probably get the best answer if you contact the pastel company directly 😊) I've had no problems using water based mediums underneath pastel, but I've never tried adding them on top!

I am unable to sign up with you on Patreon....they keep shutting me down. can you help? sorry for this nuisance but Patreon claim to be overloaded and unable to get back to me. ???? love your work...need to be "on"

[@KirstyRebeccaFineArt]

Hi Donna, It's a bit difficult for me to help with technical issues as Patreon is an external website so I don't have control over that side, unfortunately! Have you joined/paid but have no access to the tutorials? Or are you having trouble signing up? There are a few things you could try 😊 If you're having problems logging in (or Patreon is asking you to pay again) ...this may help! Make sure you are logged into Patreon first www.patreon.com/login (double-check you are using the right email address - sometimes people have two email addresses and try to log in with their second address!) Then head over to my Patreon Tutorial library here www.kirstyrebeccafineart.com/patreontutoriallibrary Then choose a tutorial you wish to watch, and click the image! This will take you directly to the tutorial, where you will find the list of supplies, reference photos, and the actual video tutorial itself 😊 If you are still having difficulty accessing Patreon, there are a number of reasons why this could be happening, but this article by Patreon will help you troubleshoot what the problem is, and how to resolve it support.patreon.com/hc/en-us/articles/360026984152-Unlock-posts-I-should-have-access-to If you can't find a solution, you can contact them directly here (I know you have already tried this, so hopefully they will respond to you soon!) www.patreon.com/portal/help/contact-us Let me know if you have any other questions!
